O Galinho Zico, the Brazilian champion that charmed Udinese, turns 64 today

 

Arthur Antunes Coimbra, better known as Zico, "o Galinho", turns 64 today. For someone who played 750 games in his career, scoring 516 goals, there are so many great pictures. Maybe about some goal scored with his beloved Flamengo's shirt, which he wore almost for his entire career, o with Brazil's one.

Nss sports, though, preferred to remember his plays in the two years spent in Italy when, with Udinese's shirt, he charmed all Serie A. Zico played just 39 games in our country - scoring 22 goals - but those were enough to made all the Italian football enthusiasts fall in love for him.
